Tablescape Thursday the Nell Hill's way!

This tablescape it 100% Nell Hills. It has to be- it's in the home of Mary Carol Garrity! The brown and white check runner sets the tone for the quail and her outdoorsy theme. It was so cozy, you just wanted to sit down and eat.

The tablescape was in the area I would call the Butler's Pantry. This area had tall ceilings also, as did the entire house, but 2 walls were floor to ceiling cabinets that held her many dishes. That included dinnerware as well as serving pieces.I was fascinated the whole time I was there. If you notice in the below photo, she even put framed art BELOW the windows. Never thought of that!

The below ceiling fixture is decorated with dried vines and leaves. The shadows cast on the ceiling were interesting and brought your eye up.

The below photo is taken in the SMALL kitchen. See how she used natural elements to bring depth and texture to the area?

The photos are all mine, I was actually at the open house of Mary Carol Garrity/Nell Hills in September. I am having a give away that involves her latest book "O Christmas Tree" that she signed that day. Check out my side bar to get the details, and you could be the lucky winner. After you do that, be sure and check out the other Tablescapes on http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com and say Hi to Susan for me!

About Me

I'm a small town girl, who grew to be a small town woman, and now is a small town "Meme" joined with my small town "Papa". We pretty much live our lives around our kids and grandkids, even though they live 6 hours away. We are in touch with them daily through the computer and would give everything in the world to be able to spend more time with them.

More About Me

I have collected milk glass in all forms, shapes and sizes since I was 12 years old when I got my first set of bedside lamps from Stanhome Products. I had to sell a case of "Degreaser" in order to earn them, and I wanted them SO BAD. I have had people make fun of me for years! I have over 100 pieces and use them every chance I get to decorate, serve, or just look at. Until I came upon Susan's blog at http://betweennapsontheporch.com/ I had never found anyone else who had the same connection with beautiful dishes or anything even close to my interests. I'm no longer the odd ball, I have found people I can relate to and am enjoying the blog world immensely! Thanks so much to all who might be out there who have inspired me to come out of the "closet"! Ha! Sandi
